  • Day 10: Virginia to Connecticut

    Day 10: Virginia to Connecticut

    We woke up around 10:00 and visited with my Aunt and Uncle and then went to breakfast and showed them our photo slide show of the trip. We really enjoyed our visit with them. Afterwards we headed over to my grandmother’s (she lives in the same area) and picked up some stuff to bring back…

  • Day 9: Travel Day Pensacola to Reston VA

    Day 9: Travel Day Pensacola to Reston VA

    Well this trip took forever, or at least it seemed like it. We left Pensacola around 11:30 am CST, and it seemed like forever to get to Alabama. Then Alabama seemed to take forever to go through. We got stuck in residual accident traffic in Atlanta and South Carolina, which really added time to the…

  • Day 8: Pensacola Beach and Ft. Pickens

    Today we got up early, had breakfast at the restaurant here where we are staying. Afterwards we drove up to the Residence Inn and “borrowed” some high speed internet to do some research about where to go and what times. Caught up with Kevin and Jamie, and kindly enough Mike helped me turn off iChat…

  • Day 7: Pensacola

    I have to say I really like Pensacola, really laid back. Today was a fun day, got up kind of late, showered and met up with Jamie and Kevin at the Schlotsky’s in Pensacola. It was great to get to meet Kevin since we have talked online quite a bit. We all chatted over some…

  • Day 5: New Orleans to Pensacola

    We left in the morning from New Orleans, and headed onto the highway for Pensacola. The ride over wasn’t really exciting or anything. Lots of wind, which really killed the gas mileage. We made a stop in Biloxi as per Jamie’s recommendation. It was definitely a lot more laid back than New Orleans. There were…

  • my iQue has become mute

    So I’ve got this great little navigation aid for our trip. Except just before the trip it stops talking to me. Nice! All the sounds are coming out of every other program on it except the navigation, convenient wouldn’t yah say. Other than that the iQue has done really well. It’s gotten us to all…

  • Day 4: New Orleans

    Well….I know most people love New Orleans. And maybe because I had a different image in my head, I’m not exactly wowed and enamored by this place. Don’t get me wrong it’s very different from anywhere else. But I wouldn’t put it on my top 10 list of places I’d like to go back and…

  • Odd Billboards

    Ok, I’ve got to write about this, because this is now the 4th billboard I’ve seen for “Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal”. These are the questions I’ve got. 1) Are there that many men who got married had vasectomies, got divorced, remarried and now want to have kids that dictates whole billboards? 2) Other than remarrying and…
